MONTAGUE – The Hub Communities Family Resource Center is hosting its first annual co-ed adult softball tournament, taking place May 3-4 at Diggle Field in Montague.The tournament originated from the need to offer teams an opportunity to play locally, instead of traveling outside the county to play in Medford tournaments. “In the process we hope to raise funds to benefit Hub Communities Family Resource Center programs and events,” said volunteer coordinator and community outreach specialist Katy Popa. In addition to raising funds for the center, all snack shack funds will benefit Cub Scout Pack 50, according to Popa. The price per team to enter is $250, with a maximum on 10 adult teams. “Teams are signing up now,” said Popa. Team members must be 18 years and over to participate, she said. “We know of seven teams who are interested, and so far two have signed up,” said Popa. “We expect most of the teams will come from the co-ed softball leagues, but any group of people age 18 and over can form a team and play.”Tournament times are to be determined by the number of teams signed up, said Popa. Games could start as early as 8 a.m. If the maximum number is reached. The winning team will recieve a plaque, and all players on the winning team will recieve a free t-shirt, said The Hub.Also, the most valuablemale and female player of the whole tournament will recieve a sweatshirt, said Children and Families Activities Coordinator Josephine Kelley.
